    Just know, I will be watching you from above. I am proud of you and I


    love you.


    Love,


    Mom


    If we have a daughter, can we name her Adalynn?” I asked. There weren’t tears in my eyes but I mainly


    just felt numb.


    “Of course we can. That would be a great way to honor your mom.” Alec k*ssed my forehead. “Ready


    to see what is inside?”


    “I am.” Setting the letter down, I opened the door to the humid Florida heat. Alec had taken the key and


    was unlocking the door by the time I came around. With the years of weather, it was a little worn but he


    was able to get it open.


    With a snap, the lock opened up and Alec raised the door up. Everything was covered in sheets. Alec


    grabbed the first one and pulled it off. It was hand drawn pictures in golden frames. The pictures were


    of different people or a scenery. Alec and I shift through them until he stopped.


    “Look at the signature.” He pointed down. At the bottom right corner, it wa signed Adalynn Jeffrey.


    “Mom drew these?”


    “I guess that is where you get your talent from.” Alec had a smile on his face. He left me to keep


    looking through them as he continued to take off the sheets from everything.


    Behind the paintings were more art supplies, an easel, and many different art books. It looks like mom


    had studied art on a college.

    here.” I said to Alec.


    “Kristen, look at this.” Alec called from the back.


    supplica


    Walking to the back, there was a massive mirror. Alec had opened it to reveal itpletely filled with


    jewelry. “What’s the envelope?” I


    asked that was taped to the top.


    Alec grabbed it and opened it. “It is the appraisal for each piece.” Alec shifted through them. “That ring


    is worth one million dors.” Alec pointed a particr beautiful ruby stone on a golden band.


    “Are


    ou serious?” I asked.


    you


    “Well, twenty years ago it was worth one million. Today it will be much more than that.” Alec sounded


    shocked.


    “What are these?” I looked over at another stack of vani envelops in a box next to the mirror.


    Opening the first one, it was bonds.


    “Holy f uck.” Alec looked at the one I was holding. “She has arge fortune in here.”


    “It’s all our, now.”


    Alec started opening more boxes. Some where just clothes or different vases. There was fur coats and


    collectables. “Basically, everything that was her family’s that was worth anything is in here.”


    Alec said.


    There was around a hundred different drawings that mom had drawn


    and some that must have been her mother or aunt’s. “What are we going to do with all this?” I asked.


    “Take it home. Hang some of these up. Give Colt some. Keep the jewelry safe. We don’t need the


    money. I put the five million that hit the bank from your dad’s death in savings. We can do whatever


    with it. Save it, build the house you want or even use it for something else.”

    “We need to keep all this private so no onees to steal it.” I said..


    “We could buy a bank and keep it there.” Alec joked.


    “That really isn’t a bad idea.” N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    “I was joking but we could do it.” Alec looked at me.


    “Let’s go to the beach and talk about this. That was my mom’sst wish and I want to see it through.”


    “Anything for you.” Alec scooped me up and k*ssed me as he carried to me our car. Watching Alec lock


    up the storage unit, I realized all my dreams came true. I didn’t need to travel to find happiness. I


    already had it.


    Alec got in the car. After started the engine, he put his hand on my stomach as we drove to the beach.
